Chapter 156: Negotiation (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription.)
"This is Mr. Osawa, this is Mr. Fukuhara, and this Mr. Onuma."
As soon as the three of them sat down, Kimura Yoshihiko briefly introduced the few people sitting next to him, the one named Osawa was the oldest, and he looked kind-eyed, so he should be easier to talk. Fukuhara and Onuma are more serious, but the man named Onuma, although he already looks like he is in his thirties, still has yellow hair.
It's not hard to understand this, after all, it's a teacher at an arts school.
"We have already read the letter of intent you provided for this project cooperation." "Initially, we think we can cooperate, but we hope to discuss the details further. ”
Once you sit down, you can start a formal discussion.
"It's understandable, but it's not always easy to come up with a perfect solution." Tomoe Uehara smiled, "As long as it's a reasonable request, I don't think it's a big problem." ”
Kimura nodded with satisfaction, "First of all, about this competition, we can provide the arena, there is no problem with this." However, we require that the judges of the preliminary round must be at least 5% of the judges of our institute, and the judges of the final round must also have more than 2 people. ”
Uehara Tomoe's face darkened, and the smile was still maintained, but it was obvious that he didn't feel the friendly atmosphere: "General Manager Kimura, what I just said is that we can all agree to 'reasonable requests', it doesn't mean that we can agree to everything." ”
Tomoe Uehara and Hao Ping, the cooperative academy proposed by Miyagawa Kimi, have two schools.
In addition to this Tokyo Broadcasting and Acting Institute, there is also the famous cradle of stars, Tokyo Horikoshi High School.
The difference is that Horikoshi High School is the main idol route, and voice actors are not the main business, while the Tokyo Institute of Broadcasting and Acting is a school with voice actors as the main body, supplemented by ordinary idols.
If the Tokyo Broadcast Acting Research Institute occupies 5% of the preliminary judges, then Horikoshi will definitely not be outdone, plus there are only 5 semi-final judges, if they are allowed to occupy 2 alone, then Horikoshi will definitely ask for the qualifications of 2 semi-final judges.
Coupled with the already decided Haruka Asami, the qualifications of the judges from the semi-finals to the finals have been fully distributed.
You must know that in the plan of Yuhui Uehara and Hao Ping, these judges' qualifications are very important, especially the judges' qualifications from the semi-finals to the finals, which are basically used to exchange cooperation intentions from other partners.
If you agree to the request of the Tokyo Broadcasting Acting Research Institute, won't you be completely tied up by Horikoshi and the research institute?
Tomoe Uehara came to the Tokyo Broadcasting and Acting Research Institute for his own interests, but he didn't come to be a living Lei Feng.
"We can't agree to this, if the judges of the preliminary round are as high as 50%, then we can't explain to the audience, after all, the students of your school should also participate in the competition. The students of your school have an advantage over ordinary people, and if the number of students selected by your school is too large, it will inevitably make people doubt the fairness of the judges in the preliminary competition. ”
Uehara Tomoe naturally didn't say directly that our judges all took it out in exchange for benefits, but found a high-sounding reason to refuse.
"It's easy to solve." Kimura Yoshihiko is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and directly proposed: "If there is such a concern, we can let the students of our school go to the other half of the competition to sign up, and we can completely avoid suspicion." ”
"According to your request, if you need to occupy half of the judges of the preliminary round, the other half may be completely occupied by the people from Horikoshi High School." Uehara Tomoe smiled and asked, "Are you going to let your students go over there to participate in the competition?" ”
Kimura Yoshihiko frowned, "Horikoshi High School? Have you already agreed to work with them? ”
The teachers of several research institutes next to him couldn't help frowning and discussed a few words in a low voice.
"Not yet." Tomoe Uehara confessed, "However, I think you can see the success of this project, and I guess Horikoshi High School will not be blind to it." ”
Kimura Yoshihiko thought for a moment and said, "That's completely unnecessary, I believe that our graduate faculty can fully cope with this project, so why bother President Uehara to go to Horikoshi again?" He smiled and said, "Besides, your company is a voice actor agency, and Horikoshi's main business is not a voice actor direction." ”
Tomoe Uehara scoffed at Kimura Yoshihiko's statement: Horikoshi's main business is not performing arts, it is a private ordinary university, but the performing arts class is too famous.
She said, "Although our main purpose this time is to promote the project and voice actors, since it is named after the academy idol, Horikoshi's art class also has its own advantages. ”
For example, the group of big stars who ran out of Horikoshi, this alone is enough to make that group of little fans rush over in order to compete for a little "senior sister" relationship with the big stars.
As for Kimura Yoshihiko's mouth about "fully contracting" the training business planned this time, Yue Uehara said "hehe" and pretended not to hear it.
"Then the students of Horikoshi High School's arts class will also sign up for this project?" Kimura Yoshihiko also knew that there was no chance to monopolize the planning and training business this time, so he asked in passing.
Although he felt that this question was not necessary.
"Although Horikoshi is a prestigious school, there are many students who can't get jobs when they come out of the art class." Yue Uehara smiled and did not answer the question directly.
Kimura Yoshihiko tilted his head and discussed a few words in a low voice with the three teachers next to him, Osawa, Fukuhara and Onuma.
Uehara Tomoe looked at their discussion and added with a smile: "If you agree that all your students will participate in the competition in charge of the Horikoshi University judges, then I can't think about it." Of course, Horikoshi students, I can also arrange for you to participate in the competition of your judges. ”
Kimura raised an eyebrow and did not speak.
He knew that if Horikoshi's students also participated in the competition, the possibility of his own students going to Horikoshi's arena was still very high, although Horikoshi and the research institute didn't have any grudges, but in order to make their school's competition results better, who knows if they would be ghosts?
He has always been afraid to speculate with the greatest malice about any opponent who has the possibility of competition.
As for Uehara Tomoe's arrangement, it is true that letting Horikoshi's students participate in their arena can make them avenge their death, but they did not participate in this project in order to lose both sides with Horikoshi. If he can, even if he has some deals, mutual benefit and win-win results are the best options in his mind.
"In this case, we can take a step back, but the judges of the preliminary round provided by our side need to occupy at least 30%." After discussing with the three teachers for a while, Kimura said, "This is the bottom line. ”
Tomoe Uehara turned his head and discussed it in a low voice with Miyagawa Mumi and Hao Ping.
"Acceptable." Tomoe Uehara nodded, after all, he was just a judge in the preliminary round.
Kimura Keihiko nodded, although this result was not as good as he expected before, but at least there were already a lot of seats, and he was satisfied. When necessary, it is not bad to give your students a little bias.
"About that." Hao Ping suddenly remembered something, and said: "It doesn't matter if you provide 30% of the judges for the preliminary round, but the requirement on our side is that in any arena, your judges cannot have two or more judges, if we and Horikoshi set up a cooperation intention, then basically you and Horikoshi plus another judge in each arena will be matched as the preliminary jury group." That's fine, right? ”
"This ......" Kimura Keihiko couldn't help but twitch a little, "It's acceptable, the next topic, about the judges of the semi-finals, we have to reserve 2 seats." ”
He knew that Hao Ping meant to prevent cheating, which was also a matter of course, although his idea was frustrated, but it also had little impact. can only say that his little abacus has not been done well, and it is not a big deal.
The big thing is the judges' side from the semi-finals to the finals. The guarantee 2 is more complete, and it will be added later
